First Big Election News of the Night

     After millions of dollars in union money and an expensive recall expense for the state of Wisconsin, Republican Governor Walker was only a few minutes ago, projected to hold onto his post 60% to 40% against the  Democrat challenger.
     Called a sign of union power, the unions all banded together against the governor  when Walker tried to limit their power.  Would this have all happened in a thriving economy? Not likely.
    As an interesting aside, NBC was the first to call Walker the winner, with FOX News about 10 minutes behind and then within 5 minutes CNN got into the game.  It's a big fight between all the networks to see who can call election projections first.
